Obviously a headphone amp connected with interconnects to a cd player and home system can work, with the headphones then connected to the headphone amp. But how do you connect a walkman without any interconnects?. |

DAC's are more used for laptops to bypass internal soundcards that will include a lot of the inner noise/interference from the running of the computer in its audio signal. Again I might be wrong about that. |
